Covid Protocol
On March 25, 2024, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health released new new guidance for what to do if you have symptoms for what to do if you have symptoms of viral respiratory illness, or if you test positive for a viral respiratory illness. This updated guidance comes on the heels of CDC’s new guidance for all respiratory viruses, which includes COVID-19, influenza, and RSV.
Updates to Isolation Guidelines:
Guidance has changed to a symptom-based strategy. Symptoms of a viral respiratory illness can include fever, chills, fatigue, cough, runny nose, and headache.
The new guidance recommends staying home (self-isolating) until your symptoms are improved for at least 24 hours AND you’ve been fever-free for at least 24 hours without fever-reducing medications. If your symptoms come back, worsen, or a fever returns, stay home and away from others again until, for at least 24 hours, both are true: your symptoms are improving overall, and you have not had a fever (and are not using fever-reducing medication). Then take added precautions for the next 5 days to avoid exposure to others.

In accordance with the Massachusetts State Law, Physical Exams and documentation of documentation are required. New students entering the Freetown/Lakeville Regional School District must submit an updated immunization record in order to begin school along with a physical exam that was done within one year prior to entrance to school or within 30 days after school entry. There are two situations in which children who are not appropriately immunized may be admitted to school: 1.) a medical exemption is allowed if a physician submits documentation attesting that an immunization is medically contraindicated; and 2.) a religious exemption is allowed if a parent or guardian submits a written statement that immunizations conflict with their sincere religious beliefs. The law states that medical exemptions must be presented at the beginning of each school year. Massachusetts Department of Public Health additionally requires annual renewal of religious exemptions in writing at the beginning of each school year.
